Electric scooters have revolutionized the way we move around. From being just a fun way to commute to being an eco-friendly and efficient mode of transportation, electric scooters have come a long way. However, with the plethora of options available in the market, choosing the right electric scooter can be overwhelming.
To simplify this process, Ride Hub Australia, Home of Electrified Beasts (E-Rides) put together a Buying Guide for your convenience when choosing the best electric scooter perfect for your lifestyle. The Buying Guide categorized electric scooters into 4 (four) different levels - Entry-Level, Intermediate-Level, Professional-Level, and Legendary-Level.
But remember, that every next level of your life will demand a different version of you. You will need to know the rules of each level in order for you to ride like a pro, and that’s what this article is for, for your convenience.
To make it less overwhelming, we will divide this article into two parts. Part I will cover the Entry-Level and Intermediate-Level while Part II will cover Professional-Level, and Legendary-Level. But as for the table of specs, we will keep all four categories available for easier viewing below. You can also determine your budget with the prices of our electric scooters on our website.
Performance Electric Scooters
Riders: Experienced, wild-side explorers
Thrill-seeking, adventure-looking, risk-takers and even adrenaline-junkies (depending on the level of thrill they crave) are riders for the performance electric scooters.
Performance e-scooters are designed for riders who want a more powerful and faster ride, with the possibility to ride all kinds of terrains. These e-scooters definitely have way more advanced features than entry-level and intermediate/long range models, and are often used by riders for recreational, outdoor-adventure purposes.
Price range is always on the higher side for performance e-scooters because of the top-notch specs they carry that provide a smoother, longer ride. Robust, strong and heavy are just a few words to describe these kinds of e-scooters. Performance e-scooters are particularly popular among speed enthusiasts. But this category still falls a level below Legendary/High Performance e-scooters.
While you may take your performance e-scooter wherever you want to go, more or less, it’s mainly used for the great outdoors.
Legendary/High-Performance Electric Scooters
Riders: Experienced, wild side explorers
Legendary or high-performance e-scooters are the top-tier models in the e-scooter market, designed for riders who demand the highest levels of speed, power, and performance. Also called Professional-Level electric scooters, these are designed for those who take their riding seriously.
These e-scooters are built with high-quality components and offer exceptional performance, making them more suitable for off-road, adventurous rides. They aren’t necessarily used for daily commutes or regular long rides though of course it can still be used this way. These big bad boy e-scooters are also the pinnacle of electric scooter technology, offering unmatched speed, range, and durability, and making them the perfect choice for enthusiasts who demand the best.
Without a doubt, these legendary, high-performance e-scooters are used for professional or competitive purposes, or by experienced riders who want the most advanced technology and features available.
Riders are also the thrill-seeking, adventure-looking, risk-takers and even adrenaline-junkies (depending on the level of thrill they crave).
Price range is definitely on the higher side also for these high-performance e-scooters, because of the top-notch specs they carry that provides an adventure in a ride.
